[edit] Jackie Pearcey

Another non-notable local councillor and parliamentary candidate (failed). David | Talk 21:12, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep--three-time major party candidate for parliament, as well as local council member. Meelar (talk) 21:15, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep established councillor, on principal local authority for 14 years, has held many major spokespersonships, a major figure in the Gorton community, certainly worthy for retention.
  • There is established precedent that local authority councillors are not ipso facto notable. See Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Local politicians. David | Talk 21:30, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
    • However, there is established precedent that major party candidates for Parliament are ipso facto notable. Therefore, keep. Zoe 22:53, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
      • No there isn't. David | Talk 23:04, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• keep per Meelar and the anonymous vote above. Kappa 21:32, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• keep - David is a local councillor himself, surely his vote for deletion smacks of political bias

• That's a personal attack, and it's completely misplaced. Firstly, my article survived a VFD with a keep result based on my being a published author and compiler of election results, not as a local councillor. Secondly, the person who nominated it for deletion was me: [1]. I hope you will withdraw that remark. David | Talk 22:07, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• There is obviously no room on Wikipedia for personal attacks, and on this point I agree with user David. However, I feel that Jackie Pearcey - the article under discussion here - should be kept, given her contribution to Gorton society over a large number of years. She is beyond the mere "local politician" tag.

• Keep per Meelar. Trollderella 23:21, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep, I suppoes that being elected even locally is probably enough. But standing and losing at a General Election is something anyone can do without getting out of bed. -Splash 00:26, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Meelar and (whether or not there is established precedent) per Zoe. -- DS1953 00:43, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Meelar. Ground Zero 11:45, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
• Not Sure. If this is as far as the article can go, then delete. If more can be added (for instance, what does she do for Gorton?), and I suspect it can ,then keep. The Land 09:06, 23 August 2005 (UTC) (previously failed to sign)
• Keep - this person is well-known throughout the Liberal Democrats and is more than just a "non-notable local councillor". She is a published author of self-help guides for councillors and political activists, and a highly competant trainer. Certainly there should be a Wikipedia entry on her.

• Keep, figure appears to be notable within her community. Hall Monitor 21:16, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
